Hi Unik , I lived in USA for 4 years before I moved to Canada. I applied as Quebec Skilled worker . By getting the Certificate of Selection, I then applied for the PR at the branch of Buffalo , NY. I can say that once my medicals were receivded in Ottawa , it just took 2-3 months to get my visa from Buffalo and the landing was very easy( by bus). I ve been living in Montreal and things go well. I never regret my decision to come to Canada.Well I speak French and Spanish very fluently but I don t want to write in these languages because I want everybody to benefit from these information. So let s share in a common language , lol. If you ve any concerns, do not hesitate to post your message. Columbus

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently living in the US and I'm projecting to apply for the QSW. How is work in Montreal, the weather compare to the US? We will need a visa to come back to the state unless you have green card. Thanks

If you have a green card in the US, you will probably lose it at some point after you take up residence in Canada. Years ago I knew people who kept their green card by going to the US every 6 months but after 9-11 they check up on it more and once they see you don't live in the US anymore, they will take your card. A permanent resident card is for permanent residents. Same as Canada, you can not keep it forever if you choose to live elsewhere.

hey guys,i applied under the FSW,i've been living in the US for 12 years now and i have a bachelor's degree,i'm fluent in french because i'm senegalese, do i need to take the IELTS?thanks for a prompt response.
